SCIENCE!

[eliyes]

In roughly 34 hours from the time I've begun typing this post, something will happen. There is a 1 in 5000 chance that this will result in the destruction of 80% of the galaxy or thereabouts, including, of course, our planet.

That's right, they're going to use the Large Hadron Collider, aka the LHC. It's a physicists dream come true: they're going to "smash protons moving at 99.999999% of the speed of light into each other and so recreate conditions a fraction of a second after the big bang."

So. In the unlikely (but more likely than the planet being struck by an extinction-event-level meteor, apparently) event that we are all destroyed, I just wanted to say that it's been fun. :3

Check out the countdown!

eta: *massive pout* They postponed it.

That's great
It starts with an earthquake
Birds, snakes, an aeroplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid

I consistently misread it as "Large HARD-ON Collider," then giggle like a schoolgirl. Whoops! :V

*g* Not quite. But I have this innate ability to charm people into believing what I have to say. I should have been a lawyer or gone into politics.
